Using computers is now a basic necessity for life in modern societies, on par with reading and writing.

I think the answer for people who do not have or for some reason cannot use computing devices is to provide places they can go and be assisted (we have those in France called "maisons de service").

I don't think you can design everything around the lowest common denominator (in terms of language or computer literacy) but you can provide ways of obtaining assistance for those that can't manage by themselves.
most, and i do mean most 18650s have a circuit board in the endcap that manages the charging and discharging, so a dead short will generally cause that board to heat up and let out smoke. If you did manage to actually short an 18650 (it's not difficult, remove the plastic on the outside and jam a flathead in between the positive cap and the battery body, where the insulator is), it doesn't just "make a small fire, easily stamped out".

if you'd like i can go dig out a 26650 that i have where i dropped it and the board part popped off; but i am sure there are websites with pictures already.
Modern transmissions can’t be two orders of magnitude more complicated than a modern ICE. If they are then I need to get into transmission design. An automatic transmission is basically just a series of planetary gears anyway. I would expect the marginal complexity between an ICE transmission and a hybrid transmission to be within a multiple of 2, but closer to parity. They’re both extremely reliable but an EV transmission (gearbox) will be even simpler.
I agree with the emphasis on high-level thinking and problem decomposition in current curriculum. The real craft of writing a program is abstracting components to interface with each other. AI tools suck with unclear instructions but excel at low-level implementations. The curriculum at my university is already designed to teach us the design and problem solving solving skills, and oftentimes I found those skills quite complementary to what AI tools can do.
"The energy density of sodium ion batteries is low.It is only 100-150Wh/kg, while the energy density of lithium energy is 120-180Wh/kg. This means that for batteries of the same size, sodium-ion batteries can store much less energy than lithium-ion batteries.Jan 2, 2024"

It could also be that it meets its users needs and gets out of the way. Commercial software is still sold for Risc OS. The market is small, I imagine even smaller than the Amiga, but some people still buy it.

Is it nostalgia, or just if it aint broke don't fix it.
How do you disentangle damage from the vaccine vs damage from COVID, which often was asymptomatic? There are some acute sudden onset symptoms associated and documented for the vaccine, but I honestly have no idea how to distinguish root cause for effects further distanced from vaccine delivery?
SF will eat you alive :)
It’s true the 4th amendment protects against ‘unreasonable’ search from (only) state actors, and that this can be construed as a right to a specific, and, it turns out, a very conditional type of privacy. Other amendments, like the 1st and 5th, touch on other aspects of privacy as well.

However, specific acts not mentioned in the Constitution, like the use of contraceptives between married couples or same sex marriage, have also been ruled to be protected under rights to privacy inferred from the 14th amendment, and these rights are now in legal limbo after Dobbs.

It’s worth pointing out that the word ‘privacy’ never appears in the US Constitution, and there certainly is nothing resembling an explicit ‘Right to Privacy’ as I think was claimed by the original poster.
I think there are legal prohibitions on just putting up solar panels and going off the grid in CA. Like I said, it's the same cartel behavior over a different resource. You cannot start an energy supply company in California, only PG&E can supply power to people in California
The standard was developed because its being used by so many people in so many ways with so many different implementations that a standard was required to align them all, so im not sure the "nobody is really using it" argument holds much weight.
Well I don't know how many IP addresses each of Mullvad's servers have, but they list a domain name, IPv4 and IPv6 address for all of them publicly[1].

> I'm skeptical of it being just regulation driven

It seems to be blatantly obviously regulation in this case. There are electric wheelchairs in other countries. What's stopping them from being imported are the regulations.
That some people apparently can't see this strat with AI "safety" laws is genuinely bizarre.
The problem isn't regulation, the problem is that the regulation isn't simple or cheap enough for small companies to get regulated.
I fail to understand why this only an issue for FF. Is the Script only present for FF depending on user agent?
private equity is just exploiting existing regulations that already make it hard for new members to enter the market & add competition no? doesn’t seem like many new regulations are being enacted to gain market dominance, working with what exists is enough?
even in roaming?
No judgement or anything, but there are a lot of typos in this post. A couple offhand , though there are more:

"Unless bot hare literally 100% automated" -> "Unless both are"

"I’d probably say somethings like" -> "something like"

"driven to deep into a pice of wood" -> "driven too deep into a piece of wood"
The article is written from a US point of view.

Most other countries also have access to the relevant materials, since most countries are not landlocked.

Sodium battery production may pair nicely with desalination plants.
(This is from december and was covered in various places then)

SCALE was always the main future - that has been totally obvious to all customers at this point.
It was also obvious there would be some point they were going to either merge them or maintenance mode Core.

Part of this seems like there are people think that "no new features = EOL", whereas it's usually "you get nothing = EOL".

ixSystems is basically guaranteeing support for Core until the users disappear, which is all someone should expect here.

Unlike most companies, TrueNAS has published roadmaps and the bugs associated with features on those roadmaps.
See here: https://www.truenas.com/docs/truenasupgrades/
They are pretty clear about everything, and you can see there are no major version upgrades planned for Core and haven't been for a while - just another stable release.

Overall this just feels like "Some people are upset that they wanted to believe ixSystems was going to develop two completely separate products forever, one which used their preferred OS, despite all available evidence to the contrary".

ixSystems has been clear they will support Core until the userbase isn't worth it anymore. Some people seem to have confuesd support with "innovate and move forward".
jq is wonderful but not relevant to the discussion.

This is about using JSONPath for OpenAPI Overlays and automated API Style Guides like Spectral.

You cannot use jq for either of those things.

Notbing against jq, just a different discussion.
Unless there are somehow millions of musicians looking to get matched in a single city, the "swipe" UI is pointless and will just make the whole thing unusable. The search + filter pattern for online datasets was perfected many decades ago. Use it.

I really like this way of thinking about using LLMs, I think that's a great analogy in many ways.
> what mathematicians call "obvious"

My favorite joke about this: a math professor starts the class by writing an equation on the board. Then he tells the class: "from this, it is obvious that--" and writes a second equation below the first.

Then the professor stops, wrinkles his forehead, and mutters, "Wait a minute, I may be wrong...". He thinks a few moments more, and then starts writing more equations. More and more equations. Equations covering the whole board. He does this for the rest of the class, and then just before the bell rings, he says "Aha! I was right after all! It is obvious that the second equation follows from the first."
Very very excited by this! I saw on the repo that `sqlite-vec` will support `row in`?
I wouldn't have minded if he had issued an opinion that the union _might_ do something to members, rather than the leader of the company saying bad stuff will definitely happen to people who side against the company. After all, he has more motivation and opportunity than anyone else to follow through on that credible threat.

Otherwise, is the mob boss in my example just expressing an opinion, too?
Are you using two accounts? What's yours in this context? This was posted by rahimrezgui, or are you the same user? (which is frowned upon here)

Shipfast is a next.js boilerplate, mine is a Node.js/express boilerplate. If you compare the tech stack and the way the two products are built you'll realise they couldn't be more different.
Try this. Not a therapist but some self reflection.

I'm above average in height. I'm stronger than most. I'm very bright. I hold strong opinions. I speak about them in the real world very rarely because nobody cares about "you" and they care about what you offer.

You don't care about your gym owner, his financial pain, his lack of business sense. You just want what you can get as cheap as possible. That's the market. That's life.

Ask yourself: what do I bring to this relationship, this encounter, this moment?

What should you do? Think about the 91 year old self. What are you going to do for him? He'll eventually resent you if you don't make decisions for him. He won't care if you failed. He'll care only if you made choices for the you now or the you later.
> I don't really see any issue with that.

You don't see an issue with a barrage of prompts that users have been conditioned to blindly accept?

It doesn't work that well in practice.

This is an older study, but the results in section 7 remain as relevant: https://cups.cs.cmu.edu/soups/2012/proceedings/a3_Felt.pdf
That wouldn't help anyone working with OpenAPI Overlays or Spectral which is what this article is about.
The trick to that one is to never create or use a Microsoft account. They make it very hard to create a local Windows user account that exists only on your machine, and they tempt you into migrating your local account to a cloud based account, but it's very straightforward to never supply the email and password for a Microsoft account.

Uninstalling OneDrive every time they re-install it is annoying but also pretty simple.
Do me a favor. Go back and rewatch Dumbo (1941) and prepare a few thoughts regarding its treatment of hot-button issues like miscegenation (hint: what kind of elephant has big ears?). Then, comment again on Disney’s recent discovery of “politics.”
Yea, that linter thread was wild! Sometimes I think we are totally pampered and out of touch!

I've cleaned McDonalds bathrooms, worked in a plastics factory where the chemical stench left my nose nonfunctional for weeks, hauled heavy sacks of shingles up onto a roof in 100+F degree summer temperatures.

I am utterly grateful and consider it a lucky privilege to now be typing into a computer in a climate controlled office, where my biggest stressor is a deadline.
margin-trim is basically a simpler alternative to adding a margin-bottom to every child, then removing the margin-bottom from the last child with :last-child { margin-bottom: 0; }

Flex with gap is also an alternative to that, and in my view should be the default thing you reach for. But there are some cases where the child margin approach has benefits, particularly if you're doing certain animations/transitions or if you want each child to essentially override its top or bottom gap.

Although people are still very capable of writing terrible code.

The real, best reason to use an ORM is to piggyback on their migration management- the abject awful chaos of DIY migration tooling is difficult to describe.
The drill example isn't great at all. My immediate guess was that the higher numbers give the drill more power. How it does that (torque/speed/etc) is irrelevant, as long as it drives a screw that's not going in at a lower number. That's the job to be done.

The whole post seems like giving up. It is possible to make things easier to understand in context.

In free market it's also OK to cut costs as much as possible, making chair that explode and kill the user one day after the warranty expires.

That's why we have regulation: to establish the minimum standards.

Simple medical devices like wheelchairs (Class I or Class II) are also not super over-regulated, you don't need to do clinical trials to certify them. All-in-all it'll cost you around $10m, which is not at all a moat.

China is doing well is a funny take post covid. The argument worked much better 10 years ago when they still had large growth.

"Doomed" I don't know but they seem quite stuck now between a lot of internal problems.
only once they switched to free market principles under deng. iirc as their growth has been slowing it has been due to increasing state clampdown on the economy
Ah thanks for the precision. I'm not exactly sure to be honest of the lineage of whatsapps/mongoose, some sources says it's based from Mongoose and/or had involvement from Erlang Solutions that ended up in Mongoose.

Anyway Mongoose and eJabberd have an amazing lineage and track record of uses and forks :)
It totally depends on the type of game you want to make, whether using an existing engine or rolling your own is the best option. This is one of the games I've made with my engine: https://poki.com/en/g/super-tunnel-rush
My one tip is only make enough of the engine to support the game you're writing, and write the game at the same time as the engine (don't think you need to finish the engine before you can start writing the game, that route doesn't work out well :)
What were the lies?
It would depend far more on the implementation than the concept/spec of JSONPath itself. What implementation are you using?
> existing regulations

Which were put in place in response to other rich people lobbying the government for regulations that favored them and their companies. Perhaps there haven't been many recent ones put in place specifically in response to lobbying by private equity companies (though I'm not sure that's true). But that doesn't change the main point.
I’m about as far away from America as they come. I’m all for public transport, and use it regularly, and I also bike.

I use PT to get to and from work (can’t bike), and bike everywhere else. For any further trips I use the car to transport my partner and my dog. You can’t take dogs on public transport in my country

Why would you need storage for half of your annual electricity usage to be self-sufficient? It seems like you could achieve that with far, far less battery, perhaps combined with slightly more solar.
I wouldn't expect upgrade cycles to be synchronized in nearly all countries.
The pictures in the article make the scale of this endeavor look inconsequential (although still culturally significant to them I'm sure.) Is there any information on how much they're actually getting done?

Japan is haunted by a return to emerging-economy status
Sometimes it is. The more cynical version of this, though, is to engage in a protracted liquidation of the business, and get as much return on the assets as possible in the short term, with no intention of the business surviving into the long term.

Optimistically, you could see this as a way of freeing operating assets from underperforming businesses and putting them back into circulation, clearing the way for superior competition. But that only works if there is superior competition to fill the gap, and the whole economy isn't saddled with dysfuction, perverse incentives, and bad leadership. Unfortunately, it seems like we're getting closer and closer to that latter situation every day.
Hmm, I do see what you mean.
unfortunately that convo probably goes like this:

person 1: "we should make official documentation videos"

person 2: "nah, our users/community will create those for free for us"
Well, you know what he said about time ...

As an undergrad I struggled to understand why log was used to measure information. Could not find a reason in any textbook.

Took a deep breath and decided to download and read this paper. Surprise, surprise: it's super approachable and the reasoning for using log is explained on the first page.
Sure, correlation like that is possibly a bit specious.

On the topic of chicks and dust baths, it's quite interesting because as soon as they encounter dirt for the first time they all do the same things. If you've never seen it I recommend looking for a video. But it seems like a weird behavior to have in every chick I've hatched. TBH, I love seeing weird inherent behaviors emerge like that.
i use between 1 and 2 MWh a month... Do you live underground and not have anything electronic? 1000KWh is 1MWh. I guess if one has all natural gas appliances and no need for air conditioning it's possible to get down to 333KWh a month.

i have owned and ran computers that used more than that a month, for goodness' sake.
"less" doesn't mean "none", it's not hard to find plenty of evidence of better living standards without car dependency or smaller average houses compared to the US for instance. Active mobility is good for your health, so is a moderated consumption of meat. Lots of benefits to organizing society better while respecting the finiteness of all our resources.

It's always the same rhetoric with your kind, you pretend to fight for the poor, when all you really want is freedom to keep on grabbing as much as possible for yourselves.
Because it's significantly easier to just ask the phone to make a call, than it is to build VOIP calls into the app.

As well, you get a lot of things for free:

- user is familiar with the phone UI, and knows how to mute/use speaker phone.

- put the call on hold if another incoming call comes in,

- able to call someone and make it into a conference call,
- more reliable on shitty internet.
> I don't know where this myth came from but there are many smartphones that are water resistant and with a user replaceable battery.

They do exist, but usually (at least for Samsung and CAT, I owned both brands) come at the cost of flimsy backplanes that come loose when falling and/or are prone to break off the tiny snaps when you need to access the SD/SIM card or battery.
If you read the article you'd know that this is about using OpenAPI Overlays and other use cases where JSONPath is literally a requirement. I think you just read the first paragraph then wrote a few about how its bad.

More and more parts of the API ecosystem require JSONPath, and just saying "you should write code instead" doesn't actually help anyone write OpenAPI Overlays, so whats the point?
Nobody ever mentions these things. Same with cannabis, it's unusual to mention that it could do that to you (or at least cause you to have a bad time due to "the greens").

OTOH, side-effects are inevitable with any drug. Some anti-psychotics might give you suicidal tendencies, yet these are approved to be sold in drugstores anyway; they work more frequently than what it takes for them to give you those issues.
Liability still exists in a free market. Regulations are government's way of giving you immunity from liability laws, or not enacting them, in exchange for doing things a very specific ways. This creates moates.
I mean fair, but helping people like that teaches empathy which we're severely lacking in today's world. There is something special we humans experience when helping others for nothing and return and I think that a lot of people are blinded by never experiencing what it means to help others.

A lot of arguments are "imagine if it was you", but I think a fairer argument would be "what if it was somebody you like/love"?

I personally wouldn't mind jumping off a bridge if I became useless, but what about the people who want to continue living who are afraid? And what about the people that like/love me?
> It's not hard to imagine a world where async/await was the more common early implementation and generators used async/await an implementation detail.

It actually is: Promises have implications for event loop scheduling that preclude async (which implicitly returns a Promise) from providing synchronous semantics. Everything else you’re saying is mostly right (I’ll leave it to other folks to nitpick the monadic details, and just note that nits are there for the picking), but I think it’s important not to totally obscure this essential detail when observing that they’re otherwise closely related concepts.
Next is nanoplastics. Present in bottled water, can reach every part of your body, effects unknown.
It’s interesting. The regulation ostensibly protects vulnerable classes from exploitation and lets them use reimbursement structures to defray cost. At the same time it causes costs to go up and allows people to buy their way across the moat.

I wonder if regulation that stipulated that a change of ownership of some percentage would require recertification of the entity would stem this a bit. Or restrictions on buying HIPAA covered businesses with patient data. Might pose a problem to folks in the business today, but could slow down the massive acquire-and-merge train in these industries.

Looking at the source code, this ui can handle x11 or wayland, but wayland can only do window recording or monitor recording, for x11 it's all just handed over to ffmpeg which can handle x,y,width,height input variables.

In the past I've used XPath, and CSS selectors using this library to filter and find data in JSON: https://github.com/tomhodgins/espath

The approach is to take the JavaScript object, convert it to XML DOM, run the query (either using standard XPath, or standard CSS selectors) and then either convert the DOM back into objects, or another way I've seen it done is to keep a register of the original objects and retrieve the original objects.

In this way, JSON, and any JavaScript object with non-circularity can be sifted and searched and filtered in reliable ways using already-standardized methods just by using those technologies together in a fun new way.

There is not necessarily a need for inventing a new custom syntax/DSL for querying unless you don't want to make use of CSS and XPath, or have very specific needs.
